How to View Kafka data file contents
I have installed pega 8.4 and i can see the Kafka topics created under"PRPCPersonalEdition\tomcat\kafka-data" Is there any 3rd party tool that we can use to view the above topics content in UI? i tried Kafka Tool but it is asking ZooKeeper path., but pega uses "Charlatan server" with zookeeper protocal so i dont know which path i can use for the tool. Any one tried to view the contents of KAFKA files that is generated by Pega ?

Hi Sankar ,
Thanks for the link.
This helps in installing Standalone Kafka with seperate zookeeper and play around with it.
My intention is to see overall stats of the Queue processor queue items that are queued via pega application.
I was looking for UI tool that can display , number of topics and messages within topic ..etc
I will try to use the commands mentioned above with Topics that are created by Pega when we create a queue Processor from Dev studio.

Hi RaviTheja,
Since we don't have zookeeper properties we can use bootstrap server (ipaddress of stream node,port 9092 if not changed) properties and view the basic metadata of partitions and topics.
Note As we dont provide the Zookeeper host/port values, some features in Kafka Tool may not be available.
Hope Attached screenshot will be helpful

Hi Ravi,
I found KafkaMagic tool is helpful in this scenario - https://www.kafkamagic.com/
